Export iMovie to WMV files
How do I export imovie08/09 to windows movie maker/quicktime/final cut to .wmv/mpg/avi and get them to play on Windows media player using iMovie to wmv converter Mac?

When you try to export a imovie08/09 edited file to .wmv file for uploading to Youtube or sharing with your Windows-based friends who prefer this format, only to find it saves parts of your movie, so is there a quick fix for this?

 
 How to export into windows movie maker WMV format straight from iMovie08, iMovie 09? Provided that you are not experienced with manipulating codecs.

First,mind you that ‘wmv’ isn’t just one ‘file’ – the data in such a file can be encoded with many CODECs – some of which don’t exist on Mac OS X.

To export as .wmv file by bringing your edited MOV into QuickTime Pro, Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro or Final Cut Pro and converting it out from there, (you had to export to .MP4 and then open up Quicktime or Final Cut Pro and export for a second time to .WMV file), it gets clipped halfway through and you can save a .wmv but it doesn’t save the entire movie,even if you had purchased these plugins. So why?

Take Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro for example, what you are getting is a typical example of the capability of the paid for version, that is, the ability to export as WMV comes from the Flip4Mac WMV player plugin which is free for playback of .wmv file but not for export. If you need to export WMV from iMovie, you need to get more expensive version WMV Studio at $49, which allows you to import and export WMV to iMovie. Let me be clear, WMV Studio only allows you to import and export WMV, so if you want to convert your iMovie08 video to other formats like AVI next time, you need to get AVI component.

Reach, accessibility, impact and versatility have made media as one of the most powerful and influential industries in India. The country has bestowed mass media with the status of “Fourth Pillar of Democracy”. Disseminating unbiased and objective information and generating public opinion is the prime responsibility of the industry. Recent changes, privatization and advent of new media (online media) have completely transformed media industry and have opened doors for people who have creative skills, at the same time, sense of responsibility as a citizen. At present, media industry is not restricted to one field. Instead, it includes broadcasting- documentaries, television, radio, online media (including blogs, forums, etc) and print- newspapers, magazines, books, journals, etc. All the fields have witnessed incredible growth. Interactive nature and technological innovations have contributed a lot in the expansion of the media industry. A person, who is a visionary, creative and possesses good technical knowledge, can expect a highly rewarding career in media.

Course Details
Media education covers a wide spectrum of courses. Before stepping into the industry, one has to be very clear and specific about the choice of career. Different aspects of media require specialized training. For instance, editing requires specific training. In order to become a reporter (electronic or print), a degree in journalism is preferred. One can also opt to pursue professional course after completing 10+2. Options of diploma level and degree level courses are also available at graduation as well as at post graduation level. For undergraduate courses, 10+2 in any stream from a recognized Board is required, while for post graduate courses, graduation in any discipline of a recognized University is mandatory.

Never before have we been able to participate in the news as it unfolds. Before even local news stations can get a crew on location, someone already on the scene is documenting it on their cell phone camera, or “tweeting” about it on Twitter, or drawing huge attention to it on Facebook, literally as it’s happening. In this age of “social media”, if you’re just finding out about something that was “tweeted” an hour ago, chances are good it’s already old news.

I had a good friend, Robert “Uncle Bob” Stewart, who was an American war correspondent during World War II. After the war ended, Bob became a media mogul in the Philippines starting in the 1950s with a radio station, and moving to television in the 1960s. He hosted one of the most popular children’s television shows in history, Uncle Bob’s Lucky 7 Club, and held on to his empire into the mid-1980s until the political unrest in that country made it impossible for him to continue.

“Uncle” Bob passed away in 2006 at the age of 89, but I’ll never forget how intrigued – and in tune – he was with modern technology. He was the consummate storyteller, and could command an audience whenever he chose to regale a gathered group. However, as endearing as Bob was in person, you would not believe how “leading edge” this particular octogenarian was when it came to modern technology.

You could not out-text him on his cell phone or PDA; instant messenger was the way he communicated from his wireless laptop, and he would tell anyone who would listen to him that one day every last person on the planet would stop becoming news content consumers and would become news content producers. Bob and I had many long discussions about his vision of the impact the internet was having on news gathering and reporting, and I never found myself questioning his savvy.

He was a career news gatherer, journalist, broadcaster, and television and radio innovator his entire life, and it was clear to anyone who was paying attention that Bob had his finger on the pulse of social media and how the internet was forever changing that world. For an old dude – rest in peace, Bob – he was as hip as anyone I’ve ever known. He was also right in many, many ways.

Today, more and more people rely on high-speed internet and wireless devices for their news. Content provided by the social media through blogs and other social networking methods including Twitter, Facebook, and Digg, can be available seconds after an event happens, or in many cases as it’s happening.

The recent documentary, Burma VJ showed the power of social media when it brought us amazing, and sometimes harrowing, footage that underground journalists shot during the 2007 uprising against the brutal military regime in Rangoon, Burma. It was filmed entirely on hand-held cameras, and the footage was smuggled out of the country where it was promptly uploaded to the Internet for the world to witness.

The next time you’re surfing the web by way of your high-speed Cox internet service and discover a truly interesting story, there’s a good chance it originated from a regular person who decided they could produce legitimate, interesting news content as easily as the next guy. If you don’t have Cox, call today. Great cable deals and Cox Internet bundles are waiting for you!

On the support, we sometimes have to answer questions about the latency between the live input and output on computers running MediaMaster. We know this a concern for most users but actually, there’s no straight answer since the amount of latency you will get will depend on a lot of different hardware and software parameters and therefore will vary depending on your own setup.

In a perfect world, we would have zero frame delay but unfortunately this is not possible with current computer hardware; the simple fact that a computer is processing video already adds one frame of input delay, that frame is needed for the computer to store the complete image before having it processed by the video card. Then you can add another frame of output delay, caused by the video card processing the image. Before or after that, each device that is added to the pipeline – such as a camera, a mixer, a LED controller or a projector – will add some delay into the processing. In the end, if the delay becomes too big you will notice that the sound and the video are out of sync, for example you will hear the voice of the speaker before his lips start moving on the screen.

If we cannot tell what the latency will be with your setup, we can however provide you with a point of comparison by measuring how many frames are needed to process a live input on an ideal setup: MediaMaster running on one of our A10 Media Servers that are specially built and configured to get the most out of our software.

Here is how we proceeded: we’ve setup a MacBook Pro with DVI/HDMI output connected to the Blackmagic Intensity Pro input card from the A10 Media Server which was set to an input resolution of 720P 60Hz. Then we started a frame counter movie on the MacBook Pro and launched the live input from MediaMaster full screen on the A10 Media Server. Finally, we put the monitors next to each other and took a picture so we can see the difference between the frame counter on both screens.

As you can see in the movie, when we took the picture the MacBook Pro was at frame count 24429 and the output of the A10 Media Server was at 24424: there is a 5 frames delay between the counter from the laptop and the counter from the server. Since our whole setup was running at 60Hz, this means that the processing delay equals 83 milliseconds (1 second divided by 60 frames = 16.6 milliseconds per frame, 5 times 16.6 milliseconds equals 83 milliseconds).
